Tang Shijin announced his plan to make wine: "I don't know the affairs of the court. Do you think it's feasible for me to do this?"
Yan Baiwei lowered his eyes and said after a long while: "Actually...how should I put it, no matter what dynasty or generation you are from, your operation is very safe and there is no problem. What do you mean now, do you want to start doing it in advance?"
Tang Shijin nodded.
Yan Baiwei said: "If you want to make it in advance, it is actually easy. You are not selling wine now. You are just using it as ingredients. It will not attract anyone's attention. Even if it does attract attention, it is easy to explain. If you are really worried,
You can ask Cheng Qi to write a letter back, present the method of making wine now, and then find a way to put it on the shelf... In the future, when you want to sell it, or when the wine becomes known, the situation will probably be that others eat the meat.
You drink soup."
Tang Shijin once again appreciated his style of taking one step to see a hundred steps.
She nodded: "Okay. So how many slaves should I buy now?"
"Well," Yan Baiwei said, "I'll accompany you to choose."
Tang Shijin nodded.
The two of them went to the county seat again, and when they arrived at Yahangli, the Yajie took the person out.
But in a small county like Wutong County, there were not many buyers and not many people in the dental shop. Yan Baiwei put his hands behind his back and walked around several times. In the end, he only picked out one person, a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.
young man.
Tang Shijin leaned over and complained to him speechlessly: "Are you doing a beauty pageant? How can one person be enough?"
Yan Baiwei said: "Everyone else is not good."
Tang Shijin said: "How about I go find Hualang?"
Yan Baiwei glared at her: "No!"
After leaving the door of Yaxing, she lifted her legs to get into the car. He directly lifted her back collar and lifted her off: "I'll go to the neighboring county to see how many people you want to buy?"
"Ten or so?" Tang Jinjin said: "Buy all the ones that are suitable. As long as they don't have any serious diseases, they don't need to be pretty."
Yan Baiwei glared at her again before raising his whip.
Tang Shijin was so depressed that he had no idea why he was being stared at... He could only sigh: "A man's heart is like a needle in the sea!"
She glanced at the young boy next to her who had just bought it, raised her chin and said, "Let's go."
She first went to Tongfang to order a set of equipment.
She had ordered a lot of things from this copper shop before and after, and became familiar with the boss, so she felt that this person could be trusted.
After leaving Tongfang, he went to Zheng's house to borrow a carriage and took himself back.
It was too late to build a house now, so she walked around the village and selected a relatively new house with a relatively remote location. She went to talk to him and spent more than a hundred taels.
He bought their house and asked them to move out overnight.
Then they asked a carpenter to come over and build two large shops in each side room on both sides, as well as a few cabinets.
As for this young man, he first sent him to He Yuanxiao's house to spend the night together.
Then during dinner that night, she told Tao Chengqi about this matter.
Of course, I just said that I realized it accidentally while she was cooking.
Then he went through some kind of experiment... Tao Chengqi didn't know whether to believe it or not. Anyway, he didn't ask any more questions. He just listened quietly and nodded repeatedly.
Tang Shijin asked him: "Is there anyone in your family who is an official?"
"Well," Tao Chengqi said half-jokingly: "I can be considered a pretty big official, but I am an incompetent descendant, so I never dare to use the name of the family when I walk outside. But this kind of thing is beneficial to the family.
My family will still take care of things, so don’t worry."
He paused and said in a low voice: "I am a lover. I have been doting on Concubine De for more than ten years. Concubine De is from an ordinary background, and her family's behavior is also a bit... arrogant, so many people can't stand them, but
I can’t defeat them either.”
Tang Shijin asked with a clear mind: "Do you mean that if I follow your path, I will offend Concubine De?"
Tao Chengqi was stunned and smiled: "What if I say yes?"
Tang Shijin said sternly: "Although I regard you as a friend, if I risk my life and fortune to stand with you, I will be benevolent if I don't succeed. But based on my trust in you, even if I don't
I understand the matter and am willing to stand with you. It doesn't matter if you encounter some difficulties. And now I am begging you. If I can help your family, I will be very happy, so that I will owe you less debt."
Besides, as long as Concubine De is a woman, she will definitely be able to hook up with her when she really needs it!
After all, what they are doing now are all foodies’ own skills, and President Tang Da’s true skills have not been revealed yet!
She answered so seriously that Tao Chengqi was stunned for a long time.
Then he smiled and said: "Jin'er is really a wise woman! However, you don't have to worry. There is usually no tit-for-tat in the harem, so even if you follow my path, you won't have anything to do with Concubine De."
Tang Shijin nodded.
Then Tao Chengqi went to write a letter.
Early the next morning, Yan Baiwei's carriage came back. As soon as it stopped, he saw people coming out one after another. A total of nine people came out. Including the ones he bought before, there were ten in total.
Moreover, Yan Baiwei actually asked these people to go to the bathhouse, take a bath, change into exactly the same clothes, comb their hair neatly, and suddenly they all had straight heads and straight faces.
Tang Shijin was amused and felt that Yan Baiwei must have obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Because he also bought an extra set of clothes, he sent He Yuanxiao to take the person he bought yesterday to take a bath and change into them.
So Tang Shijin was not in a hurry and went to cook first.
She originally thought that Yan Baiwei would come back to eat hot pot, but with so many people, she couldn't all eat hot pot, so she stewed a large pot of radish ribs and baked dough cakes for these people to eat.
Then they themselves cut the mutton and beef slices, as well as the meatballs, frozen tofu, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, yuba, vermicelli, noodles and so on.
We also prepared a lot of condiments, including sesame sauce, crushed peanuts, crushed chili peppers, fermented bean curd, chive flowers, minced garlic, black beans... Then we brought them all and placed them on the Luohan couch. It looked very rich.
Yan Baiwei looked at the letter written by Tao Chengqi and asked, "Didn't you eat yesterday?"
"No! I didn't eat it!" Tao Chengqi sighed: "Jin'er said that the family is not full, so he won't cook it!"
With a smile on his face, Yan Baiwei folded the letter and gave it back to him.
Then Tang Shijin first gave each of the children a large bowl, filled it with radish ribs, and then brought a dustpan of dough cakes to the table: "You guys eat first, and you will be satisfied. If there is not enough for the kitchen, go to the pot yourself."
Risheng, I will take you there after dinner."
Those people were all teenagers ranging from 14 to 14 or 15 years old, and they all responded with fear and fear.
They didn't know why they were bought here. The yard didn't look luxurious, but the dishes they served were real meat.
These people were also hungry and didn't think much about it. They immediately found a place to squat and eat.
So when Yang Yuntian's carriage arrived, he saw this situation at a glance and couldn't help but be stunned: "Is this?"
